ENVALUATION Task 1----create a 9 shot grid of the key parts of our film
Hello everyone! So here we are
continuing writing our blog for the final evaluation sheet. So our first task is to create a 9 shot grid
of the key parts of your film, showing how all compare to a ‘real’ media
product.
So we are talking about these things
below.
• The title of the film
• The setting
• Costumes
• Camera work and editing
• Font and style
• Story/narrative
• Genre and suggestions of it
• Characters
• Special FX
So,
the first thing we are going to talk about is the title of our film.
The Title:
Firstly, we thinking which title
for our film is a good choice. Because our film is a horror film, so we are
thinking about some name for the horror films. We have searched this on the
internet and there is some title of the horror movies, such as: The horror
story (Korea 201
3). But we think this tile is too
simple. So we are thing about the best name for our film is: Angle and Devil.
The setting: We chose to film our film in the
school. We chose these three places to
film it. In EAL Department, the way to EAL Department and Gordonstoun house. We
make our film in black and white, because we think it can make our film more backstairs,
it also can make the audience feel scared. At the later of beginning, we make
the girl walking slowly into the EAL Department, it can makes a feeling of
thriller things. Furthermore, it can make our film in a kind of mystical
environment.
The costume: The costume we chose
mostly is the school uniform. Depending to our story, we use the school uniform
for the most actors. For some special actor, like the teacher, he just wears
his own clothes like the teacher’s costume in the film “horror stories“.
Camera work and editing: I think
the Camera work and editing is the most important things in the film. Mostly,
we used low angle, mid shots and point of view in our film. For example: at the
beginning of the film, we use different angles in it, that means when the
audiences are watching it, they will think of what will happen next. Then we
use some long shots and point of view make the audiences start to thinking of
what will happen in next and try to guess the ending of the film. Finally, we
use different angles for different actors make the audiences have different
feeling and thinking of it.
The Font & Style: In this
film, we use different font for different situations. Most of them, we used the
boldfaced character, but we use a special edit to make it different, give the
audiences a feeling of thriller. We make them in different style in red characters,
it gives the audiences a horror feeling and it matches our film well.
The Story & Narrative: We
created a horror story. We used the first 23 seconds to make the story more
mysterious. Before we start film our story, we have watched some horror films
to give us an idea about what we want to film. After that, we chose something
like the horror story happened in school. Also, we have some shots in the film,
just like the film we looked at.
The Genre & Suggestions of it:
In the film click, we took advantages to use different shots and some special
effect in it. But I think we could do it better next time. For the film, we can
do more special editing in it. When we film our story, we should make the
camera more stable, not shaking. That will makes our film looks better.
Characters: In our video we made 4 different
characters in general. We make them feels as same as the characters we have
been looked at.
Special Effects: Finally we are going to talk
about some special effect we have been used in the film. Firstly, at the 39
seconds of our film, we made a special flash to make the character flash before
the titles appear. It can make the audiences start to think the story of the
film. Secondly, at the final of the film. We make the ghost star to appear suddenly
, it can make the audience scared of it and it is also viewed scared.Thursday, 27 February 2014

Point 27_^Plan and collect all props and costumes^
Point 27 – Plan and collect all pros and costumes
As our film are
mostly focus on the student at the school, therefore our costumes will be
school uniform and one of the actor who act as a teacher may wear his own
clothes.
Moreover, we would
also use the up make skill to create the ghost appearance and the ghost image to show to audience which is
one the most important of our thriller story.
Point 26_^Reason for casting actors^
Point 26 – Cast your film and taking location shots. Blog
your reasons for casting who you have
Below are the actors that we worked with for our short film:
Crystal Cao act as a
secondary school but live with “special observation”. We choose Crystal Cao to
act this character, because she look like a good girl who would keen on remain
the justice in the society such as school environment.
Eric Xie act as a
normal student in part of the classmates crew study at the school 50 years
before Crystal Cao at the story. We choose Eric Xie to act this character,
because we think he could fit with the character that is natural and realistic.
Jeff Chen act as a
normal student in part of the classmates crew study at the school 50 years
before Crystal Cao at the story. We choose Jeff Chen to act this character,
because we think he could fit with the character that is natural and realistic.
May Bai act as a
the girl who jealous the beautiful in the class, we choose her because her
appearance and face’s expression is serious enough act this kind of character.

Point 24_^Location and location shots^
Point 24 Plan
locations and take location shots. Blog your reasons for choosing these
locations Seek permission to use the locations.
For filming our
film, we have decided that we would film in server places in the school which
are EAL classrooms, toilet inside EAL department and the South Lawn
Below is our plan:
Location 1: Gordonstoun House
Camera shots: Long shot
Using long-shot to
film one the most important building called “Gordonstoun House” as the icon and
stereotype of the school that we would put this shot at the very beginning of
the our short film.
Location 2: EAL(P7)
Camera shots: Long Shot, Mid-Shot, Point of view
We would use
long-shot to roughly film the whole view of all the student and the teacher at
that classroom and mid-shot to show to the audience more clear of the student’s
and teacher’s appearance.
Also, we will use
the point of view to show the natural view from one of the actor observation
that the process she saw the ghost.
Location 3: Toilet (In the Gordonstoun House)
Camera shots: Mid-shot, Point of view
This is only the
possible situation but it is not very likely to get film because we don’t want
to show all the narrative to the audience in first 2 minutes of a 75 minute or
possible 120 minutes’ film, which is the beautiful girl who got bully by the
girl who jealous and hurt her, at that moment, we would use mid-shot to
represent the narrative. Moreover, we will using the point of view to represent
how the jealous hurt the beautiful
Location 4: The South Lawn(outside Gordonstoun House)
Camera shots: Mid-shot, Long shot
We are going to
using long-shot and mid-shot to show to the audience that the students were
very happily study at the school 50 years after the accident happened.

Point 23_^Create a shot list and shooting Script^
Create a shot list and shooting script
The first picture:
Long/Mid-shot
It is the school main building, the iconic place for school,
therefore I think we would use either long shot or mid shot to make the audience
get straight away that this story is going to relate with school and
students.
The second picture:
Focus pull/close-up, mid-shot
As this is a classroom and people would stay in a relatively
small indoor area rather than outdoor environment, therefore we could use either
close-up or focus pull to show the beauty of that girl and use mid-shot to film
the classmates and the girls who are jealous her.
The third picture:
Mid-shot
It would be a typical film shot that the story plot was few
people do something in a small place such as bully a girl in the toilet but it
should works significantly well.
The fourth picture:
Mid-shot and subjective shot
When the jealous girls force the beautiful girl go to the
toilet and the girls were about to do something nasty to her, this part of the
scene could be mid-shot. And when the beautiful girl get hurt by the sulphuric
acid, it can be subjective shot as this may built up a realistic scene to
everyone.
The fifth picture:
Close-up
Certainly to build up a scary and bad situation of
something, we could use close-up as a “over acting” skill in a filming method,
such as close-up to a burnt face of a girl.
The sixth picture
and seventh: Mid-shot
Again, the kind of scene could sort by some typical shot
such as is mid-shot and this can make a position where the audience can enjoy to
watch, because this is easy to understand and popular though out everyday
media.
The eighth picture:
eye-line match and low-angle
Firstly, use eye-line match to let audience feel that they
are also at some state as the girl who is about to hanging. Afterward use
low-angle to make a suspense media contact when the girl dead by killing
herself.
The ninth picture:
Long/Mid-shot
This could be same as the
first picture as this is just the same building and in fact, it just pretend to
be 50 years ago at the film. (It is the school main building, the iconic place
for school, therefore I think we would use either long shot or mid shot to make
the audience get straight away that this story is going to relate with school
and students.)
The tenth picture: mid-shot and subjective shot
Mid-shot for the girls who got
scar by the ghost.
Subjective shot for the
ghost.
The eleventh shot: mid-shot and close-up and subjective
shot
Mid-shot and close-up for the
girl who got the super natural that she could see the ghost and when she is looking at
the ghost, we could use subjective shot.
The twelfth shot: no a specific image, it just make eleventh
picture more clear.
The thirteenth shot: “Shot, reverse shot”, from mid-shot to
long-shot
It is actually the first scene at our actual two minutes
film. We can use “shot, reverse shot” at the scene that they were looking at
each other eyes. And then finish off by filming them standing at the classroom,
one at the left and one at the right, from mid-shot to long-shot hence a
suspense feel or at least attack the audience want to keep watching
it.
Point 19_^Investigate narrative theories^
In our first two minutes’ film, we are going to the theory
called “Tzvetan Todorov’s theory”, we would use a simple recurring formula which
is start with “equilibrium”, then over “disequilibrium” and finish off by “new
equilibrium”. Of my understanding of such term called “equilibrium”, from what I
found from the translation. It mean balance and its opposition meaning should be
unbalance.
Surprisingly, our film is totally suitable for this formula
of the theory. On the other hand, we will make our film in a method called
“flashback” that will present the formula structure in a slightly different
order.
At the beginning, we will put the last attractive scene
which is the ghost is about to have a big war with the main
actress.
And then, it will go back to the beginning of the storyline
which is 50 years ago, before the girl became ghost.
After that, the main actress will appear after 50 years in
the story to catch up the beginning scene.
However, it is impossible to finish the whole story in two
minutes unless we do it really briefly. Therefore, we would definitely film the
last attractive scene and show a bit of the story that the girl before she
became the bad ghost.
Point 22_^Create an animatic of our story board^
